I’m trying to find an AA redemption back from SE Asia in early March…most likely BKK. I’m actually leaving from Ko Samui, which would realistically put me in BKK + more restrictive timing: HKG/SIN/KUL. Wondering if anyone has any advice! My plan was to just pay for a ticket given I booked the 2 weeks earlier JFK-ICN-HAN flight in on a Korean F award using transferred Chase UR points. Really want to get rid of some of my AA miles…

That said, fares out of BKK seem reasonable. About a year ago I took basically the same priced EY J–>F Apartments flight home (3.7k) that is bookable now. I got delayed 3 hours in this mess — [URL]http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2016/02/19/etihad-a380-fire/[/URL] — plus felt a little silly given basically the entire F cabin were (very loudly discussing fact they were all) on AA awards in the F area of the EY lounge in AUH before pre-clearance.

QR J at 2.6k looks pretty reasonable as well (best timing for me turns out to be a380/a350). Have AA miles to burn but nothing I’ve turned up seems better than just paying. Would love some advice from more experienced folks!
